Immense quantities of mackerel are

The Qeoryia a range announces the

Sukum-Kaleu, which has figured
In our telegraphic dispatobes for two
or three days past, is a seaport town
on the eastern or Asiatic shore of
the Black sea, a short distance north
of Batoum. It is in Georgia, whence
the Turks obtain many of their fe
male slaves, and south of the Cau
casus mountains, which separate this
part of Asia from Europe.
Ex-Hkcbktahv Hugh MoCudlogh
positively declares that there can be
no resumption of specie payments
with $700,000,000 of paper money out.

This is in close accordance will)
the Republican plan of resumption
by contraction. That is, when the
Government has little or no curren
cy out (having substituted now in
terest-bearing bonds for it) it will be
prepared to resume. The policy
will be simply ruinous.
A Committee ol the busiuees men
of Maoou, Ga., have submitted to the
Postal Commissioners a report, in
which they presentatrougarguments
in favor of a through fast mail line
from New York to New Orleans, via
Augusta and Macon. They recom
mend the route for its light grades,
straight road bed and pleasant cli
mate, besides on account of the busi
ness interests to be subserved. Should
that route be chosen, the lino would
of course pass through Columbus.
There is considerable excitement
in Dallas, Texas, over the hyena-like
act of an undertaker, who exhumed
a dead body, took it out of the fine
coffin purchased from him, and re
interred it in a cheap one—all
because the party ordering the fine
coffin would not pay the bill on pre
sentation. The people are Indignant,
but the undertaker swears that he
will not be swindled out of his coffins
-—claiming the right to take back his
property if he is not paid for it—and
that he will test the entire matter in
toe courts. It will be at least a novel
case.
The London Times publishes a let
ter from an ex-Lieuteuant of the
United States Navy, which says that
Gen. Grant will visit Russia, as tho
guest of the Czar, soon after his ar
rival in Europe, and suggests that if
Grant should undertake to direct the
movemeuts of the Russian troops in
their war against Turkey, the Uni
ted States Government would bo
powerless to prevent him, as ho is
now only a prlvato citizen. Is it pos
sible that this suggestion lias a sig
nificance based upon an understand
ing not yet mado public?
The Now Orleans Democrat lenrus
from a reliable source that martyred
Packard has accepted an offer made
to him through his friend Blaine to
make a lecturing tour through the
North and West, tho subject of his
lecture being the Louisiana question,
and the compensation socured thore
for is to bo twenty five thousand dol
lars.
This is one of tho strongest indica
tions yet that tho Blaine faction in
tend to make vigorous war on the
President’s Southern policy.
It was our intention to obtain a
plate of one of tho many “war maps”
gotten up in the North, for insertion
in our paper. But we find that hard
ly any place mentioned for tho first
time in tho daily war reports is
to be found on auv of these maps.
The getters-up appear to have made
them by first taking the towns, &0.,
to be found on any common school
atlas, and adding to them such places
as have been mentioned in the war
reports previous to tho appearanco
of their “war maps”—no doubt loca
ting the last mentioned places by
guess based upon the telegraphic ac
counts. Maps gotten up in this way
would not much aid the roader.
The Atlanta Constitution publishes
the official vote upon the constitu
tional amendment forbidding the
payment of certain tonds. From
fifteen counties there are no returns,
and in several of these no election
was held. The total vote cast was
only 20,641—0f which 20,376 were for
the amendment, and 266 against it.
Much the largest vote on the question
was given by Chatham county, which
gave 918 for the amendment and 11
against it. Bartow came next, with
r>B for the amendment, none against;
then Whitfield, 491 for and 3against;
Fulton 419 for aud 11 against. The
votes of the counties in this section
hare already been published by us.
The largest votes cast against the
amendment were by Bibb, 2G-, and
Pierce, 23.

Wo copied from Uu> Savannah News
a few days since, a statement of a
cuHQjnvolyiug a conflict of jurisdic
tion between the Federal Court and
theßupeTlor Court for the Augusta
Circuit —Judge Gibson presiding.
The case wns that of Judge Behley
and wife vs. John Carswell, executor
of B. B. Miller. A wilt had been is-'
sued by Judge Ersklne, of the United
States Circuit Court for Georgia, re
quiring Judge Gibson to send to that
court the record of the case from the
Superior Cpurt of Burko county. This
Judge Gibson declined to do, and As
sociate Justico Bradley, of tho Uni
ted States Supreme Court, thercnj>on
issued an alias writ, returnable im
mediately. This is as far as the state
ment of the case by tho News wont.
Tho Atlanta Constitution of Sunday
makes a statement of Judge Gibson’s
reply, in which ho insists that tho
writ served upon him lias been ille
gally issued, and, if legal, is improp
erly addressed ; that no law exists to
enforce toe provisions of the writ in
the manner signed, to be done against
him as the representative of a State
tribunal. Subject to this protestation >(
he says that he is the Judgo of the
Augusta circuit, created under
the act of tho Legislature of Georgia,
approved October 21, 1870, and as
such is only judge of the Superior
Couit of Burko county, when pre
siding in that county; that said court
is not now in session, and that until
in session, or during the session
thereof, he has no legal control over
tho records thereof, und therefore
must respectfully decline to exercise
any such authority as required iD the
premises; that by tho laws of Geor
gia the clerk of the Superior Court of
Burko county lias the custody of the
records of said county, aud he is re
quired by sootion 267, paragraph
13, of the Code of Georgia,
to make out and dollver to
any applicant, upon payment of
legal fees, a correct transcript
properly certified of any minute, re
cord or file of their office; and he re
spectfully submits that it is no part
of his province as judge to discharge
tho duties of clerk, nor can he bo re
quired to do so; that having signed
a bill of exceptions to the Supreme
Court of Georgia to the proceedings
in Burke Superior Court, allowing the
filing of a petition and bond to re
move the ease set forth in the alias
scire facias to tho United States Girt
ouit Court, he cannot, under the law
of Georgia, unless the same is dis
missed, or until a remittitur is receiv
ed from the Supreme Court of Georgia
affirming or reversing his judgment
take further action as judge in the
said ease in term time or vacation ;
and he respectfully declines to do so
in any way, that, lie individually and
officially respectfully disclaims any
disrespect to tho United States
Circuit Court, but he cannot under
take to comply with tho require
ments of tho alias certiorari, without
acting contrary to the dictates of his
own judgment as to what is right
and legal in the premises. Ho there
fore respectfully submits to the court
whether it will not, before proceed
ing further in the premises, remit
tho parties to their rights given them
under the laws of Georgia which are
ample.
Fob the Convention.— Tho Demo
crats of Muscogee county having de
termined to make no nominations for
delegates to tho Constitutional Con
vention, candidates must rely upon
their own popularity and the accepta
bility of their views to the people.
Tho first announcement which we
make uuthoritivoly is that of Hon.
Porter Ingram— a gentleman whose
sound judgment and wise conserva
tism are well known to the people.
Ho is a man who would ably and
faithfully represent tho interests of
all classes, and a Convention com
posed of such men could be depend
ed on to make an admirable Consti
tution.
Let Candidates Steak for Them
selves.—Heretofore we havo pub
lished every communication that has
been offered to us, suggesting or
urging the nomination of quite a
number of gentlemen of tho district
as delegates to tho Convention. We
have given a froo aud fair showing
to all of them. Muscogee having
now decided not to havo nomina
tions, wo suggest that correspond
ents should let aspirants speak for
themselves, us the peoplo want a
inoro direct communication with
them aud an understanding of their
respective positions and views. We
do not think that wo will publish
free of charge any more communi

(Irani's Farewell
hisbtrech while streaming down tup,
DELAWARE.
New York, May 18.—The following is
the farewell speech of ox-P.xestdeut
Grant while streaming down the Dele
ware :
My Dear Friends : I was not aware we
would have so much speech-making here,
or that it would be necessary for me to
say aoy more to you ; but 1 feel that the
compiimeuts you have showered upon me
were not altogether deserved. They
should not all be paid to me, cither as a
soldier or as a civil officer. As General,
your praises do not all belong to me; as
Executive of the nation, they wore not
due to me. There is no man that can fill
both or either of these positions without
the help of good men. I selected my
lieutenants when I was in both positions,
and they were men 1 believe who have
filled any place often bettor than I did.
I never flittered myself I was entitled to
the place you gave me. My lieuten
ants could have acted perhaps better than
I, had the opportunity- presented itself.
Sherman could have taken my place as a
soldier or in a civil office, and so could
Sheridan and others I might name. lam
sure if the country ever comes to the
need again, there will be men for the
work. There will be men born for an
emergency. Again I thank you, and
again I hid you good-by, and once again I
say that if I had failed, Sherman or Sheri
or some of my other lieutenants would
have succeeded.’'
A I O.M l;\ riON V*. TUB HWBESTEAD
Editor Times:— ln your issue of
May Bth there appears an article op
posing u Convention, signed G. t that
requires a passing review. He would
create the impression that ho Is much
In sympathy with tho poor farmer.
Fiction sounds well at times, but ia
* his case by mixing a little trutii
?lth tils fiction, T hope to make the
subject more interesting.
His tirade against merchants is
calculated to place the farmer iu a
false light, and to slander the mer
chant. His remarks arc calculated
to create the impression abroad, that
the farmers of Georgia from necessi
ty have to buy more supplies tiian
they can pay for. In the first place,
tho merchant never Invited the farm
er to buy his goods on time. In the
seoond place, it is not in keeping
with the facts in the case to say the
farmer can’t make a support for his
family, without buying more goods
than ho can pay for. Being a farm
er myself, I propose to state tho facts
in the case according to my experi
ence and observation.
There is a class of planters is Geor
gia who in ante helium days[wore well
to do, but since the loss of their
slaves, owing to extravagance, false
pride, find in some cases laziness
mixed in, have failed to adjust them
selves to their surroundings, and
often buy more more than they can
pay for. Another class, who were
always poor, but exerted them
selves to imitate their wealthy neigh
bors in the matter of dress, and ex
ternal appearences-they were al
ways iu debt. These two classes of
planters, instead of falling into line,
accomodating themselves to the new
order of things, while away much of
their time, croaking, complaining,
and lamenting about their losses,
misfortunes and tho hardness of the
times-strange to say, have a won
derful tact in obtaining goods, aud
advances on time. These planters
having failed to live within their in
come—somehow or somehow else—
instead of falling into line by
going to work in good earn
est,reducing expenses within income,
as their thrifty neighbors have done,
are looking away in some other
direction for help; and many have
been led to think likely that the mer
chant and capitalist have obtained
their goods and money by cheating,
defrauding, robbing, and extortion,
and that it is right and just for the
poor planter to buy their goods, eat,
and wear them out, then take Home
stead to avoid paying for them.
There is a class of planters known to
be extravagant, shackling, thriftless
managers, some of whom have taken
the Homestead, some threatened it,
others hopelessly iu debt, slashing
around proposing to mortgage an
old rickety wagon, bony looking
mules, or some other old trumpery
of little value ; they are an endless
source of trouble and vexation to the
merchant-are generally on hand in
the spring, giving glowing accounts
of their crop prospects, making all
kinds of fair promises, insisting on
obtaining goods on time, promising
to pay up promptly in the fall—fall
cones, hut alas! many uf these
sweet-mouthed dead beats never put
in an appearance; others come up,
but only to put in a poor plea; dry
weather, the catterpillar, or some
some other mishap blighted their
crops—can’t pay. This class of plan
ters bore the merchant, and if the
merchant.bores them in return, the
honest, industrious thrifty farmer
who is exerting himself to build up
and give dignity to the science of
agriculture in Georgia will not grieve
much about it.
While I regret there are so many
shackling planters in our district,
who have injured themselves and
brought farming and farmers into
disrepute, I would not condemn
them altogether, from the fact I
think there are extenuating circum
stances in their favor. I would make
that abominable homestead clause,
as it now stands in our constitution,
the scape-goat for much of the in
debtedness, want of confidence, and
bankruptcy that causes so much
friction in all business circles; it has
acted as a temptation to thousands
of well meaning men. All men are
imperfect, liable to err; and this
homestead clause, no matter what
the intention of it was, has caused
thousands of planters to buy guano,
mules, supplies aud other things on
time, thus turning speculators, never
intending to tako the homestead,
feeling at tho same time if they
should fail in their operations, they
could save their homes until another
crop could be made; but once in the
downward current, they generally
drift until hopelessly involved in
debt.
Soon after it became fashionable to
resort to the homestead to avoid pay
ing just debts, the Legislature and
Supreme Court were invoked to allow
parties taking it to waive the right to
it. This brings us to an epoch in
Georgia’s history that causes all true
Georgians to blush. The organic law
of a State allowing an unprincipled
speculator to buy an innocent man’s
bread and meat, and then take the
homestead to keep from paying him
for them, and the innocent party
allowed no redress anywhere, at no
oourt; but the designing party, who
has hid behind the homestead, finds,
after the supplies aro ate up, which
he obtained by false pretences from
his neighbor, that his situation is
untenable—and the Legislature and
Supreme Court are appealed to, for
he must have something more done
for him. Thinking the poor fellow
might starve, they allow him to
waive the right; thus Georgians drag
along from bad to worse. And, now,
when it was supposed every true
Georgian was highly elated with the
idea of sending honest men to the
Convention who would strike from
our constitution that foul blot—the
. homestead—which has marred it for
nine years, and make one tiiat will
protect the innooent as well as the
vagabond and speculator, “O.” closes
a long article in opposition to a Con
vention thus:
Allow me a few words morn to my former
In. ii'iMun.i all others, whom 160 percent. per M>
mini or mUnortune iu suy other shape has
placed in a position where protection in nocessa
ry. Either vote against a Convention, or aeod
delegates to It whom you know, men who are
with you. Don’t trust to promises. They are an
delusive aa the sunahine of an April day, as short
as pie crust. TToid to your Homestead aa you
would to the last plauk Detween you and a watery
grave lor if you lose it. there will be added to the
crimr of pour, the humiliatlug assurances
in hsiug/00/x. Don’t trust this question as you
have done all others of importance to others, at
tend to it yourselves.
Precious nice advice this to be dish
ed out gratis! Tho first, time I ever
hear*l that it was a crime to be poor;
and I am proud to know there is u
host of true Georgians who had rath
er die poor than buy their neigitbor’s
hard earnings, eat aud wear it out,
and then hide behind the homestead
to keep from paying for it. I am
compelled to condemn any such ad
vice, and in ray humble opinion it is
only calculated to influence the
minds of toe rabble, the tramp, dead
beat and the like. Ho says: "Either
vote against a convention, or send
delegates to it whom you know—men
who are with you.”
The inference is then, that G.
would like to go to the Convention.
I do not accuse him of any such de
sire at all; but would say that if tb*
citizens of tho 24th district do de
termine to invite him to boa candi
date, they will forward him a dis
patch, by the man on tho bull, that
he told us about above, where the
merchant advised him to sell his
mule, aud buy a cheap bull.

II.HI. II II 11.11.
Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist.!
I ant a little tired of hearing people
say that they recognize toe talents ot
Mr. Hill, but lack confidence in him,
aud therefore 1 would like to men
tion one or two considerations which
show, I think, too utter baselessness
of such suspicious. Mr. Hill certain
ly belongs to that class of men on
whom oiiioe confers uo further ad
vantage than to furnish a field fui
the exercise and display of great
powers. Beyond tins, Mr. Hill adds
more weight to tho office than it
does to him. That a man, endowed
us ho is, aud conscious as he must be
of his gifts, should wisli to employ
them is no weakuess. Therefore, iL
is perfectly natural he should wish
to be United States Senator. Bu
the field once gained for the exercise
of his talents, it is tho talents ami
not the office which will increase his
distinction. To a man thus furnish
ed, there is no office in tho gift or the
Administration which could offer
any temptation. Tho highest ap
pointments in the hands of the Pres
dent are the English Embassy and
Cabinet offices ;but in none of
these would Mr. llill havo any op
portunity to employ his unrivalled
eloquence.
All men like power, and there is
probably uo exercise of it which fur
nishes so agreeable and so exciting u
pleasure as to make a great speech
to a picked audience such as th<-
United States Congress or the British
House of Commons. A great writer
lias a more permanent reputation,
but tie knows it at second baud,
while to the orator, face to face with
those he addresses, the perception of
his influence is more immediate.
The display of an eloquent man is so
brilliant that shallow people are
very apt after they recover from it to
underestimate what they solemnly
call his "depth.” But the highest
style of oratory, to which that of Mr.
Hill belongs, that fusion of thought
and passion which has been aptly
called "red hot argument,” requires
a combination of tiie greatest powers
of heait and intellect. A man spe
cially fitted to influenca listening au
dience will not easily give up an au
dience; and therefore "Ideuy, on the
ground of all the motives known to
human nature,” that Mr. Hill would
accept from tho President an office
which takes him out of Congress
The Presidency it self, though it could
increase Mr. Hill’s reputation, could
make no addition to it comparable to
that which will be created by the sim
ple exercise of iris talents. Though
the office might have added to tue
reputation of Calhoun or Whbster,
they stand without it on a far higher
pinnacle than the men who in their
time gained it. But the Presidency,
which might beau object of tempta
tion to Mr. Hill, is what no man can
obtain unless he is backed by his own
Slate. Thus it seems to me, that ar
guing the question solely on the low
ground of interest, that of Mr. Hill
is inextricably involved with the
interests of Georgia.
Justice.
A Substitute for Levef-s on the
Mississippi.—Captain Eads, having
successfully improved the mouth of
the Mississippi, is already looking
around for fresh worlds to conquer,
aud now proposes to improve toe
river itself from Cairo to the Gulf.
His plan contemplates twenty-five
reel of water all toe year round from
Cairo down, aud the placing of lands,
nowin danger of being submerged,
high above the overflow. The im
proved levee system, estimated to
cost $44,(W0,000, is to be done away
with. The Louisville Courier-Journal
says of the proposition : “Eads’ plan
is to bring the river to au approx
imate width between Cairo and Bed
river. It varies between these points
from 3,000 to 7,000 feet in width. Where
it. is wide the current is more sluggish and
sediment is deposited in the shape ot
sand bars. The reduction of these wide
places will increase the velocity of the
current in the narrower localities. Cap
tain Eads thinks any attempt to straighten
the river will be disastrous as well as ex
ceedingly expensive. His plan seems to
be simply the application of his now
successful jetty system to about 800 miles
of the Mississippi river. He is confident
that by this method the; Mississippi rivtr
littoral would be entirely lifted above
overflow.”

Special to the Bulletin.]
Washington, May 17.—Secretary
Sherman positively refuses to talk to
anybody upon subjects pertaining to
his late sale of bonds, other than to
siv that the movement was in liue of
carrying out the Resumption Act.
Those bonds were sold outside of all
Syndicate operations, and the pro
ceeds will probably soon be sold for
legal tenders. The Secretary hold
ing that they are as good as gold in
the efforts at contraction necessary
to carry out the Resumptiou Act, he
will continue to sell bonds for gold,
and sell the gold for legal tenders at
irregular times, whenever be thinks
it safe to do so without doing violence
to the money market. He says he
does not know when he will explain
toe details of his intentions—
whether in a few days, or when Con
gress meets—but he does not pro
pose to tell anybody until he gets
entirely prepared, atid that will be
governed by several contingencies
yet to happen. He believes in car
rying but the Resumption Act, ami
may possibly amend the Syndicate
contract after June 30th ; but he says
the only authoritative announcement
yet ready from him, is that made by
him iu N< w York when he sold the
bonds. The entire basis of evpry in
tention he has is to carry out the
Resumption Ant, and he will guide
his judgment, from time to time, as
to The method bv existing circum
stances. I don’t believe his mind is
made up on details of a east-iron
policy, only that he proposes to use
every point of law In favor ot re
sumption and ask of Congress more
power to carry out tho Act.
